The Expressway Authority decided, in the wake of the theft, that a new bill-changing machine will not be reinstalled at the Boggy Creek plaza. The two other machines at Orange County plazas will be removed to deter theft.

Toll road drivers had mixed opinions on the authority's decision.

"Sometimes we don't have dollar bills on us. All we have is change. So, I don't think that's fair," said Brian Smiley. "I want them to stay, of course."

LIVE IN SEMINOLE COUNTY, DAVE MCDANIEL, WESH 2 NEWS. IT'S A TOLL BOOTH THEFT THAT CAME WITH A CRASH! ONE OR MORE THIEVES SMASHED INTO THE PLAZA ON PURPOSE AND STOLE CASH JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT. GREG FOX SHOWS HOW IT WENT DOWN AND WHY THERE'S NO SECURITY VIDEO OF THE CRIME AND HOW THE EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY IS GETTING RID OF THOSE MACHINES. NORMALLY IN THE PAST THIEVES HAVE TARGETED THE COINS IN THESE CHANGE BASKETS ALONG THE EXPRESSWAY TOLL ROADS BUT NOW CAN SEE THE DAMAGE THAT HAS HAPPENED HERE AT THIS TOLL PLAZA ALONG THE 417. THE MONEY MACHINE WAS STOLEN. INSIDE THE SOUTHBOUND BOGGY CREEK TOLL PLAZA WORK IS UNDERWAY TO CLEAN UP THE MESS INCLUDING SCATTERED COINS ON THE FLOOR CAUSED BY ONE OR MORE PEOPLE WHO CRASHED INTO THE PLAZA AND STOLE THE BILL CHANGE MACHINE. YES THERE IS SURVEILLANCE BUT YOU CAN SEE THE THIEF SPLAD KIND OF FOAM ON THE LENS COVER AND MINUTES LATER WHEN THAT FOAM DISSOLVED A BLUE RUBBER GLOVE WAS PLACED OVER IT. POLICE BELIEVE A LARGE TRUCK, POSSIBLY A CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE, WAS USED TO INTENTIONALLY CRASH INTO THE PLAZA AND HAUL AWAY THE MACHINE WITH AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF CASH INSIDE. CRAZY. WHY? IT MAKES NO SENSE. PAM AND OTHER DRIVERS HAD MIXED VIEWS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY'S DECISION IN THE WAKE OF THIS VANDALISM AND THEFT. A BILL CHANGING MACHINE WILL NOT BE REINSTALLED HERE AND THOSE AT TWO OTHER PLAZAS WILL BE REMOVED TO DETER THEFT. THAT'S FINE BECAUSE I DON'T TRAVEL TOLL ROAD THAT'S MUCH SO IT'S OKAY. IT DON'T MATTER. BUT OTHERSS TELL US IT WILL BE A BIG INCONVENIENCE. SOMETIMES WE DON'T GOT DOLLAR BILLS ON US ALL WE GOT IS CHANGE, YOU KNOW. SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR. YOU WANT THE MACHINES TO STAY? I WANT THEM TO STAY. OF COURSE. DAMAGE TO THE PLAZA IS ESTIMATED AT $100,000. WHILE REPAIRS ARE BEING MADE TO THIS PLAZA AND WHILE THE BILL CHANGING MACHINES ARE BEING REMOVED FROM OTHER PLAZAS, DRIVERS WHO USE EXACT CHANGE SHOULD JUST USE THE E-PASS LANES
